INSPIRATION
The first step for those who want to leave their comfort zone is to have courage and opportunity to explore the unknown. In order to incentive, we transformed part of our expertise into open content. And it’s a lot of stuff: videos, e-books, infographics and texts that deal with issues that need to be understood by those who want to start something new within the fields of life sciences.
DRIVE
It just take an idea, a project or a research in the life sciences sector to be able to join our online community. There, you will be able to create a profile, introduce and develop your idea, meet other entrepreneurs and form a team.
In order to make our community larger, we make open and travelling activities: are events and meetups to spread entrepreneurial attitudes in universities, research centers, hospitals, companies and other alternative places.
PRE-ACCELERATION
In each round, we select about 20 teams that will, for 12 weeks, live in a coworking space and participate in an immersion program guided by specific methodology and tools to support the journey of life science entrepreneurship.
Teams from anywhere in the world can apply.
The format combines training, modeling and competition. The teams receive hands on support by experts. They will be overseen by a mentor and will interact with large companies, potential investors and partners.
It is an agile model with targeted approach to test and validate solutions, studying marketing models, find market / users and develop new skills, including fundraising and business management.
IMPACT
We believe in the impact of a new generation of entrepreneurs with solutions and ideas that have greater involvement in the market and better execution. Strategies built by each team during acceleration can result in partnerships for co-development, technology transfer or the establishment of new companies – startups and spinoffs.
Our expectation is that this new generation can foster the life sciences sector and make it more vibrant.
